What happens if a President that is pro-human embryonic stem cell research enters office?
If the new President allows embryonic stem cell research, several things may happen. (1) Scientists may not need to ‘fire wall’ their human embryonic research from their federally funded research projects. (2) The NIH may begin to reduce limitations human embryonic stem cell research. However, there are still challenges, including (1) NIH is cutting back research funding, so very little federal financial support is anticipated to be directed to human embryonic stem cell research. (2) States might ban stem cell research and therapies in their communities.
